Wilmington, NC (PRWEB)September 18, 2012

Mortgage rates held steady this week as markets anticipated the announcement of additional stimulus measures from the US Federal Reserve, reports mortgage rate research website BurlingtonMortgage.biz. The interest rates available for residential mortgage loans remains near the historic low points for many home loan products, as evidenced by the pricing advertised by mortgage banks and lenders in the BurlingtonMortgage.biz rate tables. On Friday, September 14th, 2012 30 year fixed mortgage rates were posted as low as 3.125% (APR: 3.285%, Points: 2.000, Fees in APR: $0, Lender: Mortgage Capital Associates,) and 15 year home loan rates as low as 2.750% (APR: 2.750%, Points: 0.000, Fees in APR: $0, Lender: American Financial Resources.) 5 year adjustable rate mortgage rates were advertised as low as 2.375% (APR: 2.648%, Points: 1.010, Fees in APR: $0, Lender: Loan Depot.)

A Thursday, September 13th, 2012 announcement from the US Federal Reserve confirmed speculation that additional action will be taken to influence long term interest rates and boost up the economy. The Fed's plans, termed QE3 (the third round of quantitative easing,) to purchase $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities per month will likely have the desired effect of keeping mortgage rates low, allowing the housing market to continue to rebound.

"The housing recovery has been a bit of positive news related to the overall economy," commented Shaun Hamman, VP of Residential Lending at American Financial Resources. "And we've also seen over and over again what a huge impact the availability of these low mortgage rates can have on the financial picture of a household, both over the short and long term," he continued.
